His ego doesn't need to boost, especially at the moment. He drives me up the wall, but he's a good man, Zell. He's funny, and he's smart, and he uses the amazing talents he has to help people where he can. He lets me help him do that. He brought me back from what was a very dark place in my life. He was kind to me when he didn't have to be, when I was just some no one he'd never met before. He's saved my life in more ways than I can count and I owe him so much.
That, of course, doesn't stop him from doing things that make me want to strangle him.
